Designed for kids of all abilities, aged 4 – 11 years, the nation-wide initiative uses short, game-based sessions to introduce the sport of football to
newcomers in an inclusive way. It focuses on learning new skills, being active, making life-long friends and, potentially, unearthing the next generation
of Socceroos or Matildas.

The launch comes as record numbers of Australians are taking up football, with an estimated 1.97 million participants. 193,000 boys and girls took part
in grassroots football in 2014, an increase of five per cent from 2013. An estimated 220,000 children are expected to take part in AIA Vitality MiniRoos
this year, which will be delivered by over 1,600 local football clubs.

There are two AIA Vitality MiniRoos playing options for boys and girls:

USQ FC in 2011 will be entering a minimum of 3 senior men, 1 senior ladies and 1 youth team in the Football Toowoomba Competition. This will be the first season the USQ FC will enter a youth team in the competition, continuing to build a base for younger players to enter the senior football and bolster the playing roster of USQ FC into the future.
